"Wow!" My eyes shone once more. "Am I allowed to have such a room?" Soyon showed me where I could stay for the time being but I felt bad for having such a big and nice room for myself only. 

Soyon wasn't that bad after all, she seemed cold and expressionless at first but the more we talked and the more I understood she was actually someone sweet.

"Don't worry, Namsu. Make yourself at home." I smiled at her before she exited the room.

I let myself fall onto the bed. I couldn't believe I could sleep on a king-sized bed alone, in this huge bedroom.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep immediately.

I slowly opened my eyes again when I heard a knock on my door. I adjusted to the light before noticing that the person had already entered.

"Oh, Soyon."

"I'm sorry I woke you up. It's already noon, we're having dinner."

"Oh, I'm coming." I smiled lazily and went to freshen my face up a bit, then I trusted my memory to make my way down to the dining room.

I sat down next to Jin but I was feeling really uncomfortable. The ambiance was weird and heavy. Jin and Namjoon were staring into their own plates as if they didn't even acknowledge each other's presence.

I looked at Soyon who didn't question it while putting the dishes on the table.

My stomach groaned because I was feeling so hungry.

"It looks delicious, Soyon." She smiled a little and I felt Namjoon's eyes on me.

The awkward dinner started in silence. Jin didn't look up once and almost ate nothing. This was our first real dinner since a time I couldn't even remember. How could he not eat anything? I took a piece of meat I had on my plate and put it into Jin's even though I was hungry. I looked away when I felt him stiffen and slowly look up at me.

I continued eating as if nothing happened and ignored all three pairs of eyes staring at me.

After a while, Soyon finally spoke up. "I don't know if you guys know, but tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of this place. We're going to celebrate it here."

I looked at her with my eyes wide open. "Really? A party?"

"Yes." She smiled at me. "You are expected to attend." She looked between Jin and me. I was feeling excited but Jin didn't even budge at the invitation.

I looked next to her and noticed that Namjoon was staring at me, again. Why were they so weird? I tried to chase the thought away while realizing I was invited to an actual party as I've always read in books.

The next day came and I didn't see Jin ever since the last dinner.

Honestly, I didn't know why I was thinking of him. He seemed weird yesterday, was it because he found his brother back? This was our purpose, we did it, he should be happy, right?
